Dr. Gabrieli hopes that by approaching dyslexia in an objective and scientific manner, dyslexia will lose its stigma and be seen simply as another element of human diversity.
Dr. Fletcher explains why he now believes that the most effective approach to dyslexia is through a combination of general education and special education programs.
Writer and Neurodiversity Advocate Jonathan Mooney says that instead of people with learning differences being asked some variation on “What’s your problem?” multiple times a day, people should be asking, “What’s the school’s problem, the work place environment’s problem, the problem with a culture where normal is good and right and difference is deficient?”
Dr. Guinevere Eden explains why it is important for students with dyslexia to know what dyslexia is, what it means for them, and that many people do not understand dyslexia.
As a graduate of Brown University, Writer and Neurodiversity Advocate Jonathan Mooney is often asked how he overcame his dyslexia and ADHD in order to thrive in college. What he says needs to be overcome or fixed is, in fact, how differences are treated in environments designed around the idea that we are all the same.
